MOS:LINUX

MOS:LINUX is part of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing (failed proposal), which as the name implies, is a failed proposal. However, as Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Computing (failed proposal)#Linux vs GNU/Linux shows, there is strong support for the MOS:LINUX part of that proposed page. I think that MOS:LINUX could be made part of some other MoS page or guideline, but I wanted to get input to see what the best way to go about doing that might be? - Aoidh (talk) 18:45, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

AfC review of Linux Caixa Mágica

Hi, I've created an article about the Linux distribution Draft:Linux Caixa Mágica some months ago, made improvements after the first review but haven't got a second review after several weeks. Could someone take a look and move on with the review please? Thanks!
